An elegant home offering adult entertaining space, generous outside areas, a fine pool, and spacious, comfortable bedrooms all en-suite. We had some difficulty tearing ourselves away from its beauty and peacefulness. But we did, and surprised ourselves with how much there was to see and experience. Especially enjoyed the exquisite Norton-Simon Museum in Pasadena, charming Peterson Automotive Museum, very special Getty Villa and setting in Santa Monica, and views from the Griffith Observatory and Barnsdall Park. Each area has its own tone well worth exploring. Enjoyed it all. Lovely, friendly owners who quickly responded to any difficulties. Shop at Sherman Oaks for less traffic. Have taken with us wonderful memories. Highly recommended.

Fabulous family spring break trip

We are a family of five who headed to L.A. to meet with family over our spring break (kids' ages 12,14,16). We flew in late so Sue met with us the next morning to go through the house and answer any questions. The house was exactly as described in the ad, if not better due to it's location. It's tucked up in the hills in such a peaceful, quiet location with scenic views from the patio and master deck. It's also centrally located making it easy to get around the city and to all the tourist attractions. Our three teenage kids were thrilled they each had their own bed and bathrooms and enjoyed using the pool daily (we did pay extra to heat it -- well worth it). The house has a stocked kitchen for any cooking/dining needs. It also has plenty of bedroom and bath linens and full size laundry machines if needed. We also had use of the attached garage. There was a little strip center five minutes up the road with a market, Starbucks, cleaners, etc, or you could drive about 10-15 mins. into Sherman Oaks for a full service grocery stores, restaurants and shopping -- Very convenient. Overall, it was a great house and we would definitely stay there again the next time we are in the area!
